The 2024 Domaine de la Quilla Muscadet is a fresh Loire Valley white showing lemon, green apple and pear alongside white flowers, citrus zest and fine stony mineral notes. Its cool-climate character brings bright acidity and a clean, lifted aromatic profile, while subtle saline and herbal nuances add depth. The wine has a crisp, refreshing style that makes it particularly versatile with seafood and lighter dishes.
On the palate, it is light-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon and green apple are complemented by pear, white flowers and subtle fresh-herb notes, while a fine mineral and saline character provides tension and length. The palate is focused and refreshing, with a clean texture that carries through to a dry, precise and persistent finish. Lingering citrus, stony mineral and saline notes add extra freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Muscadet drinkers who enjoy crisp Loire whites with lively acidity, mineral freshness and a clean finish. It is best enjoyed young while its citrus and saline character remains vibrant. Best enjoyed over the next 2–4 years. Serve chilled with oysters, moules marinières, scallop crudo, grilled whiting with lemon, king prawns, steamed mussels with herbs, or goat’s cheese and herb tart.
